Failed to export photo to desktop

Guys, I am trying to make an iMovie with the videos I have in my photo folder and I can't drag them to my desktop or to a folder on my desktop so that I may choose from there for the iMovie. It says, "failed to export image". Does anybody know what to do?

MacBook Pro 13", OS X 10.11

Besides drag and drop you can use the drop down menu File>Export
